Hello,
Today I am up on The Mad Scrapper Blog with my December calendar page using beautiful papers and embellishments from Uniquely Creative.
I chose to use 2 sheets from the collection today along with some of the Creative Cuts they will work great on both layouts as well as cards (watch this space). I did add a few of my own stash to complement the components. I started by tearing the Santa's Workshop paper retaining the right hand side, I added it to the B side of the Holly Bouquet and saved the part you can not see.
I matted my photo on to kraft card and lifted it with foam pads placing it down over on the right of the page. I added my ephemera around the photo before I stuck it down, I always take a photo so I can see where it will go because when I move it to glue I never seem to remember where it went. The photo above is it.
This next photo shows it all stuck down. I am not a fan of too much white around the cuts so I trimmed some off, I lifted the top edges of most larger items with extra card so not too high didn't want the hight of foam pads here.
This next photo shows where I have added the retained piece of the Santa's workshop page after I fussy cut around the elements you can see they have been lifted also. I had to include the red cardinal and the postage stamp.
As there are trees in the picture I am using I cut some from white card and white glitter card and placed them along the bottom of the page lifting them as I go I also inked the edges of the white ones. I added ephemera around them too.
This next photo shows one of the sentiments which again I have trimmed around and this time I added it to some red for a mat.
To finish the layout I added sprigs cut from the kraft card and the red which have been used for mats. I also added some black gems and tiny snowflakes. Thanks for stopping by today, checkout the other papers in the collection at The Mad Scrapper if you can't get in to the shop.
Sue.
